Importance of Motivation in Naval Officers

lots of folks have spent lots of money on snake oil as well -

for years now NFL teams have spent huge amounts of time and money to identify the next great QB coming out of college. And they still get the Ryan Leaf’s along with the Pat Mahomes.

Fitting personel to positions is an inexact science - and even that statement is giving it more credit than it deserves.

Nevermind running around with some made up criteria to rank senior officer " motivation".

Measure what is acually measurable - gather a consensus of “opinions” on the candidates - and throw a dart - and that is about as good as it gets.
